Chapter 856 Strange River

Xia Chenjing originally thought that it would take a while more, but he did not expect these secret guards to all fall to the ground. He was completely dumbfounded.

Those secret guards were already on the verge of death and were all lying on the ground.

Their auras were unstable, and their eyes were trembling.

"Let's go in."

Jiang Ming did not expect these secret guards to be so fragile. He patted the dust off his clothes and looked at Xia Chenjing.

Xia Chenjing was still confused. He nodded. He was still in a state of surprise and confusion.

Seeing Xia Chenjing like this, Jiang Ming raised his hand and waved in front of him, signaling Xia Chenjing to come back to his senses.

Xia Chenjing suddenly felt awkward.

He coughed and said to Jiang Ming, "Then let's go."

Just as he was thinking, Jiang Ming had already walked forward. He felt that Xia Chenjing had already recovered, so he just walked forward.

He hurriedly followed him, but just as they were about to push the door open, the door refused to open no matter what.

Xia Chenjing used his spiritual energy, but he still could not push it open.

He was already sweating profusely from the exertion.

Seeing Xia Chenjing like this, Jiang Ming simply stopped him and said, "I think there's some kind of mechanism on this door. Why don't we look around and see if we can unlock this mechanism?"

However, Xia Chenjing had other thoughts. He looked at the secret guard who had fallen to the ground.

The secret guard had already closed his eyes, as if he no longer cared about his fate.

Jiang Ming noticed Xia Chenjing's gaze and immediately thought of the same idea.

"Maybe this secret guard has something that can open the door. Let's look for it."

As he spoke, he took a step forward and went to search.

Xia Chenjing followed Jiang Ming and searched the secret guards.

However, after searching the entire team of secret guards, they still could not replace what they were looking for.

Coincidentally, the door beside them suddenly opened.

Bai Heyu, who was cultivating, noticed that there were people and probably saw the situation on the side of the secret guards. He simply let them in.

He guessed that Ning Caichen wanted something from his courtyard, and then he became angry again.

Why did Ning Caichen trespass into a private place? This building belonged to his family, not Ning Caichen.

He wanted to see what Ning Caichen wanted to do.

Seeing that the door opened automatically, Xia Chenjing was pleasantly surprised and wanted to go in, but he was stopped by Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming guessed that someone was watching them in the dark, so he shouted toward the attic.

"Bai Heyu, is that you? Are you in this attic?"

Bai Heyu did not expect to be discovered. However, he did not care if he would be discovered or not. He did not say anything.

He did not believe that Ning Caichen would think that someone was there if he kept silent.

However, after not seeing Bai Heyu speak for a long time, Jiang Ming had another idea. He said to Bai Heyu directly, "Since you don't want to reply to us, we'll take it that you tacitly agreed to let us in. Xia Chenjing, let's go."

Xia Chenjing wiped the sweat off his body and did not know whether to laugh or cry.

They did not seem to listen to Bai Heyu or ask for his opinion.

Bai Heyu, who was in the attic, felt insulted when he heard Jiang Ming's words.

Ning Caichen was not asking for his opinion at all. He was just humiliating him here, right?

Bai Heyu was furious. He smashed the ice block he was sitting on.

Then, he waited and did not answer Jiang Ming.

After Jiang Ming followed Xia Chenjing, he could not help but feel a little emotional.

The top of the building was filled with books, but there was only one floor. There was no other place.

Jiang Ming casually took a book and flipped through it.

After realizing that the book was full of normal content, he finally put the book back in.

Xia Chenjing looked around and could not help but frown.

"It's strange. There are so many books, but there's no space to hide anything. Where can that thing be?"

When Bai Heyu heard what Xia Chenjing was saying, he could not help but be a little vigilant.

"Are these two here to get something?"

Then, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Those things were all in his secret room. There was nothing else worth it in the attic.

"There must be some mechanism here. Let's look carefully."

Jiang Ming began to pick out books, hoping to see some traps on the bookshelf.

Then, he realized that there seemed to be a pattern to the books, so he changed the order of the books.

Unexpectedly, some water suddenly poured down from the attic.

The water was golden and sparkling. It looked like fine gold powder was pouring down.

However, Xia Chenjing did not feel that way. He only felt that the water was poisonous and quickly stepped to the side.

However, when the water touched the ground, it suddenly gathered into a small river and went straight toward Xia Chenjing.

Xia Chenjing quickly stepped to the side, but this river seemed to know where Xia Chenjing was and followed him.

When Jiang Ming saw the river, he quickly used his spiritual energy to enlarge his fan and used it to block the river.

The river wanted to continue forward, but there was no way. It could not help but accumulate on the fan like a snake.

Xia Chenjing looked at the fan and was dumbfounded. He immediately took a step back.

However, the snake-like river took a step forward and surged directly in front of Xia Chenjing.

When Xia Chenjing saw it, he did not avoid it and directly faced it. He also held a fan in his hand and wanted to fan the river away.

However, the river directly pierced through the fan and went straight to Xia Chen's forehead.

Jiang Ming saw that the river was about to reach Xia Chenjing, so he waved his spiritual energy and threw it in front of Xia Chenjing.

Xia Chenjing was immediately surrounded by a barrier.

It was precisely because of this barrier that the river could not reach Xia Chenjing.

The river wanted to break the barrier, but it could not.

The barrier was as solid as mud. Seeing that the river was struggling to enter, Xia Chenjing suddenly threw a tantrum and made faces at the river.

Jiang Ming did not expect Xia Chenjing to have such a side to him. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. Then, he took back the fan.

He threw the fan onto the river, and the river immediately disappeared without a trace.

The speed was so fast that Jiang Ming could not help but be stunned.

Had he become so powerful now? How could it be like this?

Xia Chenjing's eyes lit up.

"Wow, this spiritual energy is awesome!"
